Many People refuse to take Cod


 Liver Oil on account of it's unpleas- ant taste. This difficulty has been overcome in ScoTT's EMULSION of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites. It being as palatable as milk, and the most valuable remedy known for the treatment of Consumption, Scrof- ula and Bronchitis, General Debili ty, Wasting Diseases of Children, Chronic Coughs and Colds, has caused physicians in all parts of the world to use it. Physicians report our little patients take it with pleas ure. Try Scott's Emulsion, and he convinced. DR. THOMAS HALL, Hol- " Creek, Ga, says: 'I am using Scott's Emulsion in the case of lit tie child one year old, wasting away, and it is improving fast Before noth- ing would stay in it's stomach, but the Emulsion agrees with it perfect ly." june 30.

own Fault.
 MODERN COOKING AND MoD- ERIN LIVING have brought 1t on. 1t comes upon us una wares. The patients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especi- ally in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There Is a feeling like 8 heavy load on the stomach; sometimes faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunkes, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months 1t is at tended with a greenish colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he be- comes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebod- ings. There is q giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up sud denly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and hotat times; the blood becomes thick and stagnallt; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the kidney secretions becomes scanty and high col ored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is ire quently a splitting up of the food, sometimes with sour taste and sometimes with a swedish taste; this is ire quently attended with palpi- tation of the heart and Asth- matic symptoms; the vision be- comes impaired, with spots be- fore the eyes; there Is a feel ing of great prostration and weakness. All of these symp- toms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-half of our population has this dis ease in some of its varied forms. Shaker Extract ot Roots (Sel- gels Syrup) changes the fer ments of the Digestiveorgans so as to convert the food we eat into a form that will give nourish- ment to the feeble body, and good health is the consequence. The effect of this remedy IS simply marvellous. Millions upon millions of bottles have been sold in this country, and the testimonials in favor of its curative powers are over whelming. Hundreds of so- called diseases under various names are the result of indi- gestion, and when this one trouble is removed the other diseases vanish, for they are but symptoms of the real malady.
 Testimonials from thousands of people speaking highly of its curative properties prove this beyond a doubt. Sold by druggists.
